Because zander eat large numbers of smaller fish, they have had a devastating effect on native fish populations. To protect the native fish, a government program removed a significant proportion of the zander from Britain’s waterways last year. Surprisingly, this year the loss of native fish to zander has been greater than before.阅读-选项passage 1581.Which of the following, if true, would most help to explain the greater effectof zander on the native fish population?A. The climate in Britain is very similar to the climate in regions to which zander are native.B. Most of the zander removed were fully grown, and fully grown zander eat large numbers of smaller zander.C. Every year a large number of zander are caught by sportfisher in Britain’s waterway.D. Previous government programs designed to remove nonnative species from Britain’s waterways have failed.E. Zander are just one of several nonnative fish that prey on the other fish found in Britain’s waterway.阅读-正文Passage 215W.E.B. Du Bois’ exhibit of African American history and culture at the 1900 Paris Exposition Universelle attracted the attention of a world of sociological scholarship whose value his work challenged. Du Bois believed that Spencerian sociologists failed in their attempts to gain greater understanding of human deeds because their work examined not deeds but theories and because they gathered data not to affect social progress but merely to theorize. In his exhibit, Du Bois sought to present cultural artifacts that would shift the focus of sociology from the construction of vast generalizations to the observation of particular, living individual elements of society and the working contributions of individual people to a vast functioning social structure.阅读-选项passage 2151.The passage implies that Du Bois attributed which of the following beliefs to Spencerian sociologists?A. Theorizing is important to the understanding of human actionsB. Vast generalizations have limited value.C. Data gathering is a relatively unimportant part of sociological research.D. Sociology should focus on the living elements of society rather than culturalartifacts.E. Particulars are more important than universals.For the following question, consider each of the choices separately and select all that apply.2.The passage implies that Du Bois believed which of the following statements about sociology?A. It should contribute to the betterment of society.B. It should study what people actually do.C. It should focus on how existing social structures determine individual behavior.阅读-正文Passage 152In February 1848 the people of Paris rose in revolt against the constitutional monarchy of Louis-Philippe. Despite the existence of excellent narrative accounts, the February Days, as this revolt is called, have been largely ignored by social historians of the past two decades. For each of the three other major insurrections in nineteenth-century Paris—July 1830, June 1848, and May 1871—there exists at least a sketch of participants’ backgrounds and an analysis, more or less rigorous, of the reasons for the occurrence of the uprisings. Only in the case of the February Revolution do we lack a useful description of participants that might characterize it in the light of what social history has taught us about the process of revolutionary mobilization.Two reasons for this relative neglect seem obvious. First, the insurrection of February has been overshadowed by that of June. The February Revolution overthrew a regime, to be sure, but met with so little resistance that it failed to generate any real sense of historical drama. Its successor, on the other hand, appeared to pit key socioeconomic groups in a life-or-death struggle and was widely seen by contemporary observers as marking a historical departure. Through their interpretations, which exert a continuing influence on our understanding of the revolutionary process, the impact of the events of June has been magnified, while, as an unintended consequence, the significance of the February insurrection has been diminished. Second, like other “successful” insurrections, the events of February failed to generate the most desirable kinds of historical records. Although the June insurrection of 1848 and the Paris Commune of 1871 would be considered watersheds of nineteenth-century French history by any standard, they also presentthe social historian with a signal advantage: these failed insurrections created a mass of invaluable documentation as a by-product of authorities’ efforts to search out and punish the rebels.Quite different is the outcome of successful insurrections like those of July 1830 and February 1848. Experiences are retold, but participants typically resume their daily routines without ever recording their activities. Those who played salient roles may become the objects of highly embellished verbal accounts or in rare cases, of celebratory articles in contemporary periodicals. And it is true that the publicly acknowledged leaders of an uprising frequently write memoirs. However, such documents are likely to be highly unreliable, unrepresentative, and unsystematically preserved, especially when compared to the detailed judicial dossiers prepared for everyone arrested following a failed insurrection.As a consequence, it may prove difficult or impossible to establish for a successful revolution a comprehensive and trustworthy picture of those who participated, or to answer even the most basic questions one might pose concerning the social origins of the insurgents.阅读-选项passage 1521.With which of the following statements regarding revolution would the author most likely agree?A. Revolutionary mobilization requires a great deal of planning by people representing disaffected groups.B. The objectives of the February Revolution were more radical than those of the June insurrection.C. The process of revolutionary mobilization varies greatly from one revolution to the next.D. Revolutions vary greatly in the usefulness of the historical records that they produce.E. As knowledge of the February Revolution increases, chances are good that its importance will eventually eclipse that of the June insurrection.2.Which of the following is the most logical objection to the claim made in the last paragraph?A. The February Revolution of 1848 is much less significant than the Julyinsurrection of 1830.B. The backgrounds and motivations of participants in the July insurrection of 1830 have been identified, however cursorily.C. Even less is known about the July insurrection of 1830 than about the February Revolution of 1848.D. Historical records made during the July insurrection of 1830 are less reliable than those made during the May insurrection of 1871.E. The importance of the July insurrection of 1830 has been magnified at the expense of the significance of the February Revolution of 1848.3.The purpose of the second paragraph is to explain whyA. the people of Paris revolted in February 1848 against the rule of Louis-PhilippeB. there exist excellent narrative accounts of the February DaysC. the February Revolution met with little resistanceD. a useful description of the participants in the February Revolution is lackingE. the February Revolution failed to generate any real sense of historical drama4.It can be inferred from the passage that the author considers which of the following essential for understanding a revolutionary mobilization?A. a comprehensive theory of revolution that can be applied to the major insurrections of the nineteenth centuryB. awareness of the events necessary for a revolution to be successfulC. access to narratives and memoirs written by eyewitnesses of a given revolutionD. the historical perspective provided by the passage of a considerable amount of timeE. knowledge of the socioeconomic backgrounds of a revolution’s participants阅读-正文Passage 112Whereas Carlos Bulosan aimed through fiction and personal testimony to advance both Filipino civil rights in the United States and the social transformation of the Philippines, Yen Le Espiritu has set herself the task of recovering life histories of Filipino Americans. Her work brings Filipino Americans of the generation following the 1934-1965 immigration hiatus graphically to life. A special strength is the representation of Filipino American women, who were scarce among immigrants before the 1934 American curb on Filipino immigration but composed more than half of the immigrants to America since liberalization in 1965. Espiritu’s subjects document their changing sense of Filipino identity in the United States, much as Bulosan did as a member of the first substantial wave of immigrants.阅读-选项passage 1121.According to the passage, both Bulosan and Espiritu do which of the following in their work?A. consider generational differences in Filipino immigrants’ responses to life in the United StatesB. attempt to make allowance for the demographic variations among Filipino immigrants to the United StatesC. employ fiction in addition to documenting actual life histories of Filipino immigrants to the United StatesD. represent how life in the United States has affected immigrants’ sense of Filipino identityE. examine the effects on Filipinos in the United States of the 1934 American curb on Filipino immigration2.In the context in which it appears, “graphically” most nearly meansA. in writingB. by means of drawingC. impressionisticallyD. diagrammaticallyE. vividly阅读-正文Passage 130Some archaeologists speculate that the Americas might have been initially colonized between 40,000 and 25,000 years ago. However, to support this theory it is necessary to explain the absence of generally accepted habitation sites for that time interval in what is now the United States. Australia, which has a smaller land area than the United States, has many such sites, supporting the generally accepted claim that the continent was colonized by humans at least 40,000 years ago. Australia is less densely populated (resulting in lower chances of discovering sites) and with its overall greater aridity would have presented conditions less favorable for hunter-gatherer occupation. Proportionally, at least as much land area has been lost from the coastal regions of Australia because of postglacial sea-level rise as in the United States, so any coastal archaeological record in Australia should have been depleted about as much as a coastal record in the United States. Since there are so many resource-rich rivers leading inland from the United States coastlines, it seems implausible that a growing population of humans would have confined itself to coasts for thousands of years. If inhabitants were present 25,000 years ago, the chances of their appearing in the archaeological record would seem to be greater than for Australia.阅读-选项passage 1301.The passage is primarily concerned with doing which of the following?A. presenting an objection to a claimB. accounting for an apparent anomalyC. outlining an alternative interpretationD. correcting a particular misconceptionE. questioning the validity of a comparison2.The author of the passage implies which of the following about 25,000 years ago?A. The coastline of the region that is now the United States is longer than it was 40,000 years ago.B. Rivers in what is now the United States were numerous than they are now.C. Australia was less densely populated at that time than was the region that is now the United States.D. Australia’s climate was significantly drier than it is now.E. Global sea level was lower than it is now.3.The author of the passage implies that, in what is now the United States, archaeological evidence of inhabitation in the period from 40,000 to 25,000 years ago is lacking because that regionA. had its oldest habitation sites inundated following a postglacial rise in sea level.B. has many resource-rich rivers that facilitated the dispersal of early inhabitants from an initial concentration in coastal areas.C. was sparsely populated until about 25,000 years ago.D. was colonized less than 25,000 years ago.E. was inhabited only by hunter-gatherers until 25,000 years ago.阅读-正文Passage 106Although vastly popular during its time, much nineteenth-century women’s fiction in the United States went unread by the twentieth-century educated elite, who were taught to ignore it as didactic. However, American literature has a tradition of didacticism going back to its Puritan roots, shifting over time from sermons and poetic transcripts into novels, which proved to be perfect vehicles for conveying social values.In the nineteenth century, critics reviled Poe for neglecting to conclude his stories with pithy moral tags, while Longfellow was canonized for his didactic verse.Although rhetorical changes favoring the anti-didactic can be detected as nineteenth-century American transformed itself into a secular society, it was twentieth-century criticism, which placed aesthetic value above everything else, that had no place in its doctrine for the didacticism of others.阅读-选项passage1061.Which of the following best describes the function of the highlighted sentence?A. It explains why the fiction mentioned in the first sentence was not popular in the twentieth century.B. It assists in drawing a contrast between nineteenth-century and twentieth-century critics.C. It provides an example of how twentieth – century readers were taught to ignore certain literature.D. It questions the usefulness of a particular distinction between Poe and Longfellow made by critics.E. It explains why Poe’s stories were more popular than Longfellow’s verse during the nineteenth century.2.In the context in which it appears, “conveying” most nearly meansA. carryingB. transferringC. grantingD. impartingE. projecting阅读-正文Passage 131Animals live longer when their calorie intake is restricted to two-thirds of what is considered normal for their species. Animals so restricted are also generally healthier: most disease, including cancer, diabetes, and neurodegenerative illness, are forestalled.This phenomenon was long attributed to a simple slowing of metabolism(cells’ production of energy from fuel molecules) and consequent reproduction of its toxic by-products in response to less food. In fact, however, calorie restriction does not slow mammalian metabolism, and in yeast and worms, metabolism is both sped up and altered.Some scientists now theorize that calorie restriction is a biological stressor that, like natural food scarcity, induces a more complex defensive response, which in mammals includes changes in cellular defenses and repair.阅读-选项Passage 1311.In the passage, the function of the highlighted portion (in yeast… and altered) is toA. provide specific examples of organisms whose longevity does not increase in response to calorie restriction.B. illustrate the probable means by which organisms placed on a calorie-restriction diet compensate for the reduction in available food-based level.C. suggest the mechanism that is responsible for prolonging the life of organism whose calorie intake is significantly reduced.D. give an example that explain why scientists’ thinking about the physiological effects of calorie restriction changed.E. distinguish the different ways that mammalian and non-mammalian metabolisms respond to significant reductions in calorie intakeConsider each of the choices separately and select all that apply.2.The passage implies which of the following about the explanation mentioned in the highlighted text (This phenomenon… of metabolism)?A. There are empirical findings that conflict with a presumption of the explanation.B. The explanation predicts that the effect of calorie restriction on longevity will be the greatest for the species with the highest rate of metabolism.C. The explanation predicts that the effects of calorie restriction will be uniformly positive.阅读-正文Passage 25Modern feminism has brought the reputation of the English writer Mary Wollstonecraft (1759-1797) to something approaching the luster it deserves. While she enjoyed a certain celebrity among political radicals in the years just after her death, beginning in the nineteenth century her fame as a writer was hidden by disproportionate attention to her unconventional and, at the time, shocking personal life. When, therefore, Virginia Woolf wrote in 1925 of Wollstonecraft’s A Vindication of the Rights of Men and A Vindication of the Rights of Woman that they felt like books so true that they seem now to contain nothing new in them, it was more a wishful than an accurate statement of the case. Wollstonecraft’s advances in moral thinking still have the power to shock position-takers of every party. The importance of gender even today is said to cut across other criteria for judging the conduct of men and women in society; Wollstonecraft, by contrast, believed that the sharedmorality of men and women should cut across all specifications of gender.Wollstonecraft considered gender-based morality a relic of a barbarous age: part of that specialization of virtues by which every sexual feeling was expected to express itself as libertinism (in men) or false modesty (in women). In her view, there ought to be one criterion of morals for men and women alike, with both sexes cultivating the same virtues. Wollstonecraft rebelled against the copious sentimental literature of her own time, which she felt patronized women by insisting that it was to their advantage to affect chastity and modesty and that such virtues were their own reward.In The Rights of Men, Wollstonecraft explores this double Bulosan standard from an unexpected angle. It was the first major response to Edmund Burke’s Reflections on the Revolution in France (1790), appearing less than a month after the impassioned defense of the deposed French monarchy.A defender of Burke called Wollstonecraft’s book an incoherent mass of treacherous candour, interested generosity, and, if not false, at least unnecessary accusation.But Wollstonecraft nonetheless managed to show how the traditionally feminine virtues of sentimental morality had been transferred by Burke to the aristocracy. Burke’s rhapsody on the queen of France (glittering like the morning star, full of life, and splendor, and joy) was, for Wollstonecraft, an example of the argument that beauty and instinct must often prevail over reason, the argument on which Burke took his stand as a defender of the old order. Like women, Burke thought, and from a similar greatness and delicacy in their nature, the aristocracy were understood at once to require deference and to solicit compassion. To Wollstonecraft, Burke’s argument linked sympathy and power in a dangerous alliance; she insisted that aristocrats do not deserve to be treated in the way that women have traditionally been treated any more than women themselves do.阅读-选项Passage 251.By quoting Burke’s defender in the highlighted phrase, the author of the passage most clearly succeeds inA. providing a context for the political turbulence that unseated the French monarchyB. emphasizing the way in which Wollstonecraft’s philosophy divided men and womenC. explaining why Wollstonecraft’s work has won more acceptance in the twentieth century than in the nineteenthD. illustrating the nature of the appeal of Burkes argumentE. demonstrating the degree of hostility aroused by Wollstonecraft’s work2.The author of the passage quotes Burke’s description of the queen of France most probably in order toA. provide a specific illustration of a position with which Wollstonecraft took issueB. provide a specific example of Burke’s already archaic prose styleC. balance the quotation from Burkes anonymous defenderD. provide evidence of why Burkes position was more widely accepted than Wollstonecraft’sE. provide an example of what Wollstonecraft perceived as Burke’s lack of political astuteness3.The passage suggests that which of the following is true concerning Virginia Woolf’s appraisal of A Vindication of the Rights of Men and A Vindication of the Rights of Woman?A. Woolf was defending Wollstonecraft’s theories against attacks by nineteenth—century critics who concentrated only on Wollstonecraft’s notoriety.B. Woolf favored the advances proposed by Wollstonecraft and mistakenly assumed that they had become self-evident in the twentieth century.C. Woolf miscalculated the practical effects that the advances proposed by Wollstonecraft would have on society.D. Woolf decried the loss in the twentieth-century of social progress made in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.E. Woolf was reacting against what she considered a lack of originality on Wollstonecraft’s part while calling for more sweeping changes than Wollstonecraft had proposed.4.The author of the passage suggests that modern feminism has treated the writings of Mary Wollstonecraft in which of the following ways?A. Modern feminism has emphasized the progressive aspects of Wollstonecraft’s writings, while separating her work from her personal reputation.。

以无比沉重的心情回忆GRE我的考场一波三折
当我⾛出考场的时候,⼼情完全没有考完T那样有轻飘飘的感觉。
也许别⼈说终于结束了,但我⼀直开⼼不起来。
考前看到版上谁谁说感冒了,⼀直祈祷⾃⼰不要染上它,到后来真的染上了。
我的⾝体已经虚到了洗澡也会感冒。
虽然我没有咳嗽,但是我⿐孔和脑袋⼀直发热。
后来的⼏天我也懒得到寄托论坛上冒泡。
今天早上5,6点就醒过来,躺到6点半,⼈很难受,想想还是起来吧。
然后带了⼀瓶“蛮⽜”出去散步,那个时候我的感觉还很好,但是持续了没多久。
当我再买了瓶“红⽜”我只喝了半瓶,肚⼦已经在翻滚了,所以⾯包我就肯了⼀⼝就不吃了(现在肚⼦还痛)。
虽然从我数学做题的速度来看,发烧的影响不是很⼤,但是当我遇到不会的时候我就全⾝不⽀。
第⼀个Section把我吓得脸⾊苍⽩,⼀直冒虚汗。
因为模考过很多次,⽽且都不错,所以我⼀直很有信⼼,⽽且也形成⾃⼰的⼀套做题⽅法。
我的顺序也和⼤部分⼈⼀样,都是填空—类⽐—反义—短阅读—长阅读。
因为我要准备在来不及的时候放弃4-5题的阅读(打算全部选D),我要保证填空和类⽐的准确率,所以我做填空和类⽐特别⼩⼼,涂卡也是⼀板⼀眼的。
最终导致了我的来不及(⽽且不是⼀般的来不及)! 当监考⽼师说时间只剩下5分钟时,我的第⼀篇阅读还没作完,和模考巨⼤的反差把我吓了脸⾊铁青。
接下来的5分钟我⼀个字也看不进去。
我⼀直撮着⾃⼰的⼿,头脑⼀⽚空⽩再加上⿐孔和脑袋发热发晕,那时侯的我可怜的象⼀只哆嗦的⼩狗狗。
我⼏乎放弃了第⼀个Section。
(我的长阅读是CCCDDDD,短阅读是蒙的,也劫数难逃。
) 第⼆个section数学让我缓了⼀⼝⽓。
第三个section 我调整了顺序 当我作完第⼀题填空,第⼆题填空突然看不下去了(我读下去,⽽没有在头脑形成任何概念。
⼈也很难受。
)我害怕刚才的感觉会再犯,所以马上停⽌不看,转到类⽐,这时候我做的很快,⼏乎是⼀看到答案就涂表,涂完后再浏览下其他选象作为确认(现在我只是先稍微涂⼀下,数学完了再过来描),反义也很快(但是有⼏题单词拿不准,真的是郁闷的死了!⽽且还蒙错了。

The region’s cities differ, however, in the budgetary priority they give to public education. For example, both as a proportion of its overall tax revenues and in absolute terms, Parson City has recently spent almost twice as much per year as Blue City has for its public schools—even though both cities have about the same number of residents. Clearly,ParsonCityresidents place a higher value on providing a good education in public schools thanBlueCityresidents do.”Write a response in which you discuss what specific evidence is needed to evaluate the argument and explain how the evidence would weaken or strengthen the argument.The following appeared in a newsletter offering advice to investors.“Over 80 percent of the respondents to a recent survey indicated a desire to reduce their intake of foods containing fats and cholesterol, and today low-fat products abound in many food stores. Since many of the food products currently marketed by Old DairyIndustries are high in fat and cholesterol, the company’s sales are likely to diminish greatly and company profits will no doubt decrease. We therefore advise Old Dairy stockholders to sell their shares, and other investors notto purchase stock in this company.”Write a response in which you discuss what questions would need to be answered in order to decide whether the advice and the argument on which it is based are reasonable. Be sure to explain how the answers to these questions would help to evaluate the advice.相关。

GRE考试真题回忆105题1. 一个长篇(讲述的是美国女权运动,该文章分为两段,第一段讲述的是整个权利运动的发展,第二段则讲述了女权运动被忽视以及她们所做的努力),题目分布是2,3,4,共9题。
阅读理解的大概内容比较好理解,但是其中的超长句式明显增长,所以对其中细节的理解需要费一些功夫2. 最难的一道分析题是这样的:有三个人P、Q、R在三天之内分别完成三个报告A、B、C,每天每人讲完成一个报告,但是每人在不同天的演讲顺序不能一样,另外还有一些附加条件,我好象记得曾经作过类似的题目,所以看起来是一个三重排列,但比较顺利。
3. 竟两个40行左右的长文章, 一个是文学评论: 好像是说一个叫GEORGE BERNARD SHAW 的英国剧作家的剧本在上演前后的社会伦理方面的坎坷经历4. 另一篇阅读是自然科学的文章, 说一个叫ZERO-ENERGY THERMONUCLEAR APPARATUS(ZETA)的设备的研究.相对前一篇好读的多, 题目也较直接5. 有三条不同的路线上山, 且这三条线有一个共同的交点, 有三个点是其中两条路线的交点, 并且给了ABCDEFGHI9个点, 任一条路线至少由两个点构成, 根据此问出了各种问题. 我作此题时花了较多事间彻底弄清了题义, 利用了数字分析得到了基本面临的可能性后迅速解完了所有小题6. (19)是一道怪题, 问题类似NO.2-NO.3的一道单题, 问题是: WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING MOST LOGICALLY ANSWER THE QUESTION ABOVE? 上文中给了一个背景段落后提出了一个针对背景内容的问题, 从选项中选出一个答案LOGICALLY 回答它. 其实是问上题的一个必要条件, 但困难是难以读清问题目的7. (25)题是一个根据图形解释现象的考题, 给出了一个MARKET中A PRODUCT销售的变化, 让你找一个选项解释为什么变化. 答案为该国家降低了关税导致IMPORTED PRODUCT的价格降低.8. (34)题是最令人头疼的逻辑描述题:WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING IS AN ERROR IN THE REASONING? 问题是把SUFFICIENT CONDITION 当成NECESSARY CONDITION, 有点类似96.10国内考题中的SECTION 6.NO.23.关键在于选项的阅读上9. 剩下三个分析推理题有两个是重考, 一个是 NO.4中那个F10个, F102, F103 在春季和秋季的问题, 令一个是课上最少练了十遍的6个元素排在六个位置上的俗题10.

4.27日GRE考试记
其实我本来不想写这篇东西的,可是看过了许多前辈们的⼼得,忍不住有些⼿痒,⾮常想把我的经历告诉⼤家。
我是⼀个坏榜样,尽管我的成绩有些出乎我的意料,(V:680 A:800 Q:780),看到这样的成绩对很多⾼⼿来说并不新奇,可是我的故事很有趣。
1999年寒假时我参加了G班的学习,当时真是匆忙上阵,期末考试⼀结束我就踏上了去北京的⽕车,⼼⾥没底的很,单词我⼏乎⼀个没背,试题也没有看过,整个听课过程都是在浑浑噩噩中度过的,除了带回⼀本笔记,什么也没有记住。
那年4、5⽉份就开始找⼯作——是⼯作找上了我,因为平⽇的成绩还不错,我顺利留校了,我不知道⾃⼰到底需要的是什么,从来都是我被动的迎接命运,虽然我想继续出国深造可是⼜下不了决⼼⽤功,就这么拖了⼤半年,不,是近⼀年。
期间发⽣了很多零零碎碎的事情,我在⼤学的外事处⼯作,每天就是打⽂件和送⽂件,半年⼀共说了⼗句外语,我简直痛苦的要崩溃了。
⽆奈之下,我从今年三⽉七⽇开始正式请了⼀个⽉的病假,这才开始我的GRE⽣涯,头⼀个⽉,我从早到晚的做题,把所有的题都做过⼀遍之后,我才开始背单词,就是背了红宝书⼀本,结合飞跃我爱背单词97版,⾮常之有效,不到⼀个⽉我把⼤部分单词混个脸⼉熟,考试时出现的反义和类⽐⼏乎都是⽣词(起码对我是),可平时背单词时记住的词根这时就派上了⽤场,虽然不知道确切的含义,可是对于选择题来说是绰绰有余了。
4⽉27⽇我参加考试,提前两天到了北京,妈妈说⼥孩⼦⼀个⼈不安全,所以她还陪考,解决了所有后勤问题,母亲真伟⼤。
4⽉27⽇早上差⼀刻8点,我从⼈⼤招待所出来⾛7分钟左右到了考场。
那天考试的⼈格外多,⼏乎坐满了整个考场。
(后来才知道是因为新东⽅有⼀期刚结业)⾄于进考场之前的那些程序我就省略不说了。
进考场时间是8:26,我坐在最⾥⾯的位置,不受任何⼈打扰,铅笔和草稿纸确实像前辈们说的那么棒。
试前指导看了⼏眼就跳过去了,之后正式开始考试,第⼀个section是数学,对我这个⽂科⽣来说,⾮常难,我当时还在想,最近⼏套数学题我都没有做,变得这么难了呀,不过这对我的⼼情也没有什么影响,⼤概齐的点过去,做完还剩10分多钟;下⼀个section 是逻辑,排列分组题很难,费了⼀些时间,有⼀道是这样的:六个元素,三个⽉内分为两组,在第⼆个⽉和第三个⽉开始时,两组的成员有⼀到两名互换,其余都是见过的类型;⾄于单题,我⼀向感觉不到难度,正确率⼏乎是。

There are two reasons why homing success rates decreased with increasing displacement distance. One possibility is that females were simply displaced too far to find their way home. However, this is unlikely given that some individuals managed to find their way home from each distance we used. The second possibility deals with trade-offs between the risks associated with making a long return trip and the benefits of returning. Animals should expend energy only when the associated costs are low. As reptiles increase the time spent moving, their daily energy expenditure increases dramatically. The energetic costs of returning home and the chances that the eggs will have been preyed upon during the return trip both increase substantially as displacement distance increases. For example, the 130 hours (5.5 days) that female skinks spent returning from a distance of 300 meters is sufficient for an egg-eating snake to locate and prey upon the entire clutch. However, females with larger clutches were more likely to home at distances over 50 meters. For these females, the relative fitness benefits associated with having more eggs successfully hatch may outweigh the energetic costs of returning to a nest site, evenif the nest may have already been preyed upon.阅读-选项passage 1471.The primary purpose of the passage is toA. question the validity of research on nest-guarding behavior in long-tailed skinksB. consider explanations for a finding regarding long-tailed skinksC. discuss the importance of homing for long-tailed skinksD. describe the relationship between clutch size and homing success inlong-tailed skinksE. identify the benefits of a behavior common among long-tailed skinks2.The claim in the highlighted sentence assumes which of the following about the individuals that managed to find their way home from each distance?A. They were less able to detect egg-eating predators than were the otherlong-tailed skinks studied.B. They were more averse to risk than were the other long-tailed skinks studiedC. They expended less energy when homing than did the other long-tailed skinks studied.D. They did not possess better homing skills than did the other long-tailed skinks studied.E. They had significantly smaller clutches than did the other long-tailed skinks studied.3.The "second possibility" implies which of the following as a possible explanation for the female long-tailed skinks that failed to home from distances over50 meters ?A. They had relatively small clutches.B. They were unable to find their way home.C. They lacked sufficient energy to home successfully.D. They had male long-tailed skinks guarding their clutches.E. They detected evidence of egg-eating snakes In the vicinity of their nests.阅读-正文Passage 135The revival of mural painting that has occurred in San Francisco since the 1970s, especially among the Chicano population of the city’s Mission District, has marked differences from its social realist forerunner in Mexico and the United States some 40 years earlier. Rather than being government sponsored and limited to murals on government buildings, the contemporary mural movement sprang from the people themselves, with murals appearing on community buildings and throughout college campuses. Perhaps the biggest difference, however, is the process. In earlier twentieth-century Mexico, murals resulted from the vision of individual artists. But today’s murals are characteristically the product s of artists working with local residents on design and creation.Such community engagement is characteristic of the Chicano art movement as a whole, which evolved from the same foundations as the Chicano civil rights movement of the mid-1960s. Both were a direct response to the needs of Chicanos in the United States, who were fighting for the right to adequate education, political empowerment, and decent working conditions. Artists joined other cultural workers in making political statements and played a key role in taking these statements to the public. They developed collectives and established cultural centers that functioned as the public-relations arm of the Chicano sociopolitical movement.阅读-选项passage 1351.The primary purpose of the passage is toA. argue for the superiority of a style of artB. consider the impact of an art movementC. describe the political content of a certain works of artD. detail the characteristic style of an art movementE. place an art movement in its historical context2.According to the passage, which of the following statements about the “cultural centers” is true?A. They were the venue where many later leaders of the Chicano civil rights movement first became politically active.B. Though later widespread, they originated in San Francisco area.C. Springing up in a number of communities, they initially had largely apolitical goals centered on art instruction.D. They constituted the nucleus from which the Chicano civil rights movement originated.E. Founded by artists, they provided support for the Chicano civil rights movement.3.Which of the following best describes the relationship between the first paragraph and the second paragraph of the passage?A. The first focuses on the mural artists as individuals; the second, on their actions as a group.B. The first compares the mural revival with an earlier artistic movement; the second describes the context contemporary to the revivalC. The first defines the revival by distinguishing it from an earlier artistic movement; the second addresses the political goals of both the revival and its forerunnerD. The first presents an apparently plausible account of the relationship between the revival and is forerunner, the second calls that account into questionE. The first is concerned with the artistic aims and ambitions behind the San Francisco murals; the second considers their political significance阅读-正文Passage 26Cuts that need to be held closed in order to heal properly have generally been held closed with stitches. However, pressure to reduce medical costs is mounting. Consequently, it is likely that a newly developed adhesive will become the routine method of holding most types of cuts closed. The new adhesive holds most types of cuts closed as well as stitches do, and the cost of applying it is comparable to that of closing cuts with stitches. But whereas stitches must generally be removed by medical personnel after the cut has healed, the adhesive simply wears off. Thus, for any cut that the adhesive can hold closed as well as stitches can, it is more economical to use the adhesive.阅读-选项passage 261.In the argument given, the two highlighted portions play which of the following roles?A. The first is a claim that the argument disputes; the second provides evidence against that disputed claim.B. The first is a claim that is used as supporting evidence for the main conclusion of the argument; the second is that main conclusion.C. The first is a claim that is used as supporting evidence for the main conclusion of the argument; the second is a conclusion that is drawn in order to support that main conclusion.D. The first introduces a practice about which the argument makes a prediction, the second is a conclusion based on that prediction.E. The first introduces a practice about which the argument makes a prediction; the second is an assessment that is used to support that prediction.阅读-正文Passage 142Many theorists now doubt that heat loss from Earth’s core and radioactive decay are sufficient by themselves to produce all the energy driving the tectonic plates whose movements have helped shaped Earth’s surface. This leaves a loose end in current geological theory. Herbert Shaw argues that because scientists have underestimated the input of substantial amounts of energy from extraterrestrial impactors (asteroids and comets striking Earth), they have difficulty accounting for the difference between the quantity of energy produced from sources intrinsic to Earth and that involved in plate tectonics. Whereas most geologists have treated the addition of energy through the bombardment of Earth’s surface by such impactors as a process separate and independent from the movement of Earth’s tectonic plates, Shaw asserts that these processes are indivisible. Shaw’s revolutionary “op en-system” view recognizes a continuum between terrestrial and extraterrestrial dynamics, whereas modern plate tectonic theory, like the classical geology developed duringthe nineteenth century, is founded on the view that Earth’s geological features have changed through gradual, regular processes intrinsic to Earth, without reference to unique catastrophic events. Classical geology borrowed a decisive, if unspoken, premise from Newton—the independence of Earth’s processes from any astronomical context.阅读-选项passage 1421.The author’s primary purpose is toA. identify the influences informing a particular geological theory about the processes that have shaped Earth’s surfaceB. identify differences between two views of the extraterrestrial impactors and argue that the phenomenon has influenced the development of plate tectonic theoryC. argue that an explanation is based on a dubious evidence and propose an alternative explanationD. discuss an explanation and place that explanation under theoretical contextE. suggest that apparent discrepancy poses a serious problem for a particular theory that many have believed2.The author of the passage mentions the “continuum” in order toA. point out a relationship between plate tectonics and the nineteenth-century geologyB. explain how a theory of Newton’s could influence geology and plate tectonic theory.C. distinguish between two sources of energy that contributed to the development of Earth’s surface.D. point out a similarity between the surface of impactors and the surface of Earth.E. identify a feature of Shaw’s view that deviates from current scientific theories.3.The passage suggests which of the following about tectonic theory?A. It has led scientists to overlook an important contribution to classical geologists from Newton.B. It has been more successful than was classical geology in accounting for heat loss from Earth’s core.C. It is based on premise about Earth’s processes discerned in Newton’s thought.D. It has correctly explained the effects of ex traterrestrial impactors on Earth’s surface.E. It corrects a fundamental flaw in classical geology.阅读-正文Passage 195Wild Diana monkeys are preyed upon by leopards and chimpanzees. These two predators differ in their hunting tactics and Diana monkeys use two distinct antipredator strategies to defend themselves. After detecting a leopard, Diana monkeys respond by giving loud, conspicuous alarm calls that function both to warn others and to signal to the predator that it has been detected. Leopards tend to leave the area once they have been discovered. In contrast, upon detecting a chimpanzee, male Diana monkeys do not vocalize at all, while females give only a few quiet alarm calls and flee quickly to hide in the forest canopy, chimpanzees have sophisticated climbing skills that would allow them to pursue monkeys, even in the high strata of the forest canopy.Choosing an antipredator strategy appropriate to chimpanzees is complicated for Diana monkeys by the fact that chimpanzees themselves also fall prey to leopards. When encountering a leopard, chimpanzees give loud, conspicuous alarm calls. To escape successfully from leopards and chimpanzees, therefore, Diana monkeys must distinguish between, and respond differently to, chimpanzees alarm calls and chimpanzee vocalizations simply signal the presence of a leopard and should elicit the monkeys’ loud, conspicuous alarm calls.To investigate Diana monkeys’ understanding of such cause-effect relationships involving predators, Zuberbuhler examined the monkeys’ r esponses to chimpanzee vocalizations in two different types of experiments. In the first, he played tape recording of either chimpanzees’ alarm calls or their social vocalizations and noted the monkeys’ responses. Diana monkeys differed in their response to chimpanzees’ alarm calls. In some groups, monkeys behaved as if they recognized that these alarm calls signaled the potential presence of a leopard: they responded to chimpanzees’ leopard alarm calls by giving leopard alarm calls themselves, in contrast to their normal response to the presence of chimpanzees. Groups of monkeys living in the core area of the resident chimpanzee community were more likely to behave in this way than were peripheral groups.In the second set of experiments, Zuberbuhler played leopard growls to Diana monkeys shortly after exposing them to recording of either chimpanzees’ alarm calls or their social vocalizations. After first hearing chimpanzees’ alarm calls, some monkeys failed to respond to the subsequent recording of leopard growls, even though this stimulus normally elicited a strong vocal response. These monkeysbehaved exactly like the Diana monkeys in a comparison group, who also gave many leopard alarm calls to an initial recording of leopard growls but no longer called to the second recording of leopard growls five minutes later. This similarity in behavior suggests that these monkeys had some knowledge of the causal factors underlying the production of chimpanzees’ alarm calls.阅读-选项passage 1951.According to the passage, the behavior of male and female Diana monkeys differs in that female Diana monkeysA. give alarm calls upon detecting a chimpanzeeB. hide in the forest canopy upon detecting a leopardC. give loud alarm calls in response to chimpanzees’ alarm callsD. give loud, conspicuous alarm calls upon detecting a leopardE. respond differently to the presence of leopards than they do to the presence of chimpanzees2.It can be inferred that the purpose of the highlighted “loud, conspicuous alarm calls” is in part toA. cause the chimpanzees to leave the areasB. warn other monkeys of the presence of the chimpanzeesC. enable chimpanzees to flee quietly from the leopardD. signal to the chimpanzees that they have been detectedE. signal to the leopard that it has been detected by the monkeys3.The author mentions the “sophisticated climbing skills” of chimpanzees most likely in order to present information that helps toA. explain why chimpanzees are less vulnerable to predation by leopards than are Diana monkeysB. question the hypothesis that Diana monkeys hide in the forest canopy to defend themselves from chimpanzeesC. argue that the antipredator strategies Diana monkeys use to defend themselves against chimpanzeesD. suggest a possible reason for chimpanzees’ and Diana monkeys’ use of similar antipredator strategies to defend themselves against leopards阅读-正文Passage 59Recent studies of ancient Maya water management have found that the urban architecture of some cities was used to divert rainfall runoff into gravity-fed systems of interconnected reservoirs. In the central and southern May Lowlands, this kind of water control was necessary to support large populations throughout the year due to the scarcity of perennial surface water and the seasonal availability of rainfall. Some scholars argue that the concentration of water within the urban core of these sites provided a centralized source of political authority for Maya elites based largely on controlled water access. Such an argument is plausible, however, it is less useful for understanding the sociopolitical implications of water use and control in other, water-rich parts of the Maya region.阅读-选项passage 591.The author of the passage implies which of the following about the political importance of the type of urban water management system described in the passage?A. Because the system was centralized, it allowed political control over a widely scattered population.B. The knowledge required to design and maintain the system became the pretext for Maya elites’ political authority.C. By selectively limiting access to water, Maya elites used the system to curb challenges to their authorityD. The system is not sufficient to explain the sources of centralized political power in all parts of the Maya regionE. The system’s continued maintenance required political authorities to exert control over an increasing proportion of economic resources.Consider each of the choices separately and select all that apply.2.According to the passage, which of the following is true of the water management systems in the central and southern Maya Lowlands?A. They were implemented in part because of the prevailing pattern of rainfall.B. They were an integral part of lowland cities’ architecture.C. They were needed because of insufficient resources such as ponds, rivers and lakes in the lowlands.阅读-正文Passage 48When studying shrimp feeding from hydro-thermal vents at the bottom of the ocean, biologists were surprised that the shrimps’ reproductive cycles followed seasonal patterns. Far beyond the reach of sunlight, and with food abundant around the vents all year round, why should such animals reproduce seasonally? The answer might involve their offspring, which in their larval form drift in the currents to colonize new vents. The larvae must feed during their trip, and their springtime release coincides with a peak in algae raining down from surface waters. So far, researchers have found no evidence of seasonal breeding among vent-dwelling species that provide their offspring with yolk to sustain them or amongvent-dwelling species found in areas of the ocean with not seasonal algae blooms.阅读-选项Passage 481.Which of the following best describes the function of the highlighted sentence?A. It casts doubt on the accuracy of earlier observations of seasonal breeding among shrimp species living near hydro-thermal vents.B. It undermines the explanation proposed for seasonal breeding among some shrimp species living near hydro-thermal vents.C. It suggests that alternative theories are needed to explain seasonal breeding among shrimp species living near hydro-thermal vents.D. It describes the survival benefits to shrimp of mating in parts of the ocean where algae blooms rain down abundantly.E. It supports the explanation proffered for the seasonal breeding observed among some shrimp species living near hydro-thermal vents.Passage 17Early naturalists believed two species of beaver lived in North America: dam beavers and bank beavers. The bank species was thought to resemble the muskrat in behavior, living in burrows or lodges and unable to build dams. In fact, dams are primarily a strategy for dealing with annual variations in water levels. If water levels fall in summer, as they do in most of North America, then beavers lodge entrances may be exposed. With stabilized water levels, their homes are much safer. Along deep rivers, where bank beavers are found, this problem seldom arises. But these beavers do know how to build dams, and do so if the need arises, as may occur if they are forced to relocate after felling and consuming all nearby trees.阅读-选项Passage 171.The passage provides support for which of the following statements about beaver dams?A. One important function of these dams is to protect beavers homes.B. Most are built prior to burrow construction.C. They are found mostly along deep rivers.D. They are routinely abandoned as nearby forests are depleted.E. They mainly protect beavers from rising water levels.2.The passage implies which of the following about beavers?A. Bank beavers are unable to successfully compete with dam beavers when resources become scarce.B. Differences in dam-building behavior among beavers do not necessarily imply multiple beaver species.C. Building dams eventually causes beavers to deplete nearby resources.D. When conditions permit, beavers are more likely to build dams than burrows or lodges.E. In beavers, dam-building is an acquired rather than an innate skill.Passage 161Although initially symptomless, glaucoma can eventually cause blindness when not properly treated. Tests under laboratory conditions of the traditional treatment, daily administration of eyedrops, show it to be as effective in relieving the internal ocular pressure that causes glaucoma as is a new laser-surgical procedure. Yet glaucoma-related blindness occurs in a significantly smaller percentage of patients who have had the surgery than of patients for whom only the eyedrop treatment was prescribed.阅读-选项Passage 1611.Which of following, if true, most helps to explain the low rateglaucoma-related blindness among patients who had the surgery?A. Glaucoma-related blindness is no more common among patients who have had only the surgery than it is among patients who had the surgery after using the eyedropsB. Doctors rarely recommend the surgery for glaucoma patients who have already started the traditional course of treatmentC. There is no known physiological cause of glaucoma other than increase in pressure inside the eyeD. A significant percentage of the people for whom the eyedrop treatment has been prescribed fail to follow the prescribed daily regimen, because the eyedrops have unpleasant side effects.E. The eyedrops traditionally prescribed to treat glaucoma are normally prescribed to treat other disease of the eye.阅读-正文Passage 139Analyzing levels of proportional representation of American Indians in state and local government jobs is important for several reasons. First, the basic idea underlying the theory of representative bureaucracy is that the demographic composition of bureaucracy should mirror the demographic composition of the general public. This is because in addition to its symbolic value, increased access to managerial position may lead to greater responsiveness on the part of policy makersto the policy interests of traditionally disadvantaged groups such as American Indians. Second, the focus on higher level jobs in bureaucracies (as opposed tonon-managerial positions) is especially important because managerial positions represent a major source of economic progress for members of traditionally disadvantaged groups, as these jobs confer good salaries, benefits, status, security, and mobility. Third, it is important to know if there has been growth in the American Indian share of more desirable public sector positions over the last two decades. For instance, Peterson and Duncan argue that the population and power of American Indians have been growing in certain states. Peterson and Duncan also suggest that this growth may reflect the possibility that American Indian population are becoming more active in nontraditional areas of politics, assimilating into mainstream culture, and securing with greater frequency leadership positions in non-tribal government.阅读-选项Passage 1391.The primary purpose of the passage is toA. summarize a demographic trend over timeB. present findings on a demographic groupC. analyze the demographic composition of a type of jobD. explain the need for particular social researchE. argue for the implementation of a social policy2.Which of the following best describes the function of the highlighted sentence in the context of the passage as whole?A. It hypothesizes a phenomenon that might explain a point made in the preceding sentence.B. It provides evidence that undermines that assertion made in the first sentence.C. It offers a projection regarding the development of a trend mentioned earlier in the passage.D. It presents an interpretation of a discrepancy noted earlier in the passage.E. It proposed an implementation of a policy mentioned in the preceding sentence.。

2022年10月12日GRE阅读真题回忆1. 短阅读(精讲精炼Mock 4 section2)Biologist know that some marine algae can create clouds by producing the gas dimethylsulphide (DMS), which reacts with o某ygen in air above the sea to form solid particles. These particles provide a surface on which water vapor can condense to form clouds. Lovelock contends that this process is part of global climatic-control system. According to Lovelock, Earth acts like a super organism, with all its biological and physical systems cooperating to keep it healthy. He hypothesized that warmer conditions increase algal activity and DMS output, seeding more clouds, which cool the planet by blocking out the Sun. Then, as the climate cools, algal activity and DMS level decrease and the cycle continues. In response to biologists who question how organisms presumably working for their own selfish ends could have evolved to behave in a way that benefits not only the planet but the organisms as well, cooling benefits the algae, which remain at the ocean surface, because it allows the cooled upper layers of the ocean to sink, and then the circulating water carries nutrients upward from the depths below. Algae may also benefit from nitrogen raining down from clouds they have helped to form.9. According to the passage, which of the following occurs as a result of cooling in theupper layers of the ocean?A. The concentration of o某ygen in the air above the ocean’s surface decreases.B. The concentration of DMS in the air above the ocean’s surface increases.C. The nutrient supply at the surface of the ocean isreplenished.D. Cloud formation increases over the ocean.E. Marine algae make more efficient use of nutrients.10. Which of the following is most similar to the role played by marine algae in theglobal climate control system proposed by Lovelock?A. A fan that continually replaces stale air in a room with fresh air from outside.B. A thermostat that automatically controls an air-conditioning system.C. An insulating blanket that retains heat.D. A filter used to purify water.E. A dehumidifier that constantly removes moisture from the airin a room.11. The passage mentions the possible benefit to algae ofnitrogen falling down in therain most likely in order toA. provide suppor t for Lovelock’s response to an objection mentioned in the passageB. suggest that the climatic effects of DMS production have been underestimatedC. acknowledge that Lovelock’s hypothesis is based in part on speculationD. demonstrate that DMS production alters the planet in more than one wayE. assert that algae are the sole beneficiaries of DMS production2. 长阅读(直通车Part IV: Long passages passage 4)“Blues is for singing,” writes folk musicologist Paul Oliver,and “is not a f orm of folk songthat stands up particularly well when written down.” A poet who wants to write blues can attemptto avoid this problem by poeticizing the form—but literary blues tend to read like bad poetry rather than like refined folk song. For Oliver, the true spirit of the blues inevitably eludes the self-conscious imitator. However, Langston Hughes, the first writer to grapple with these difficulties of blue poetry, in fact succeeded in producing poems that capture the quality of genuine, performed blues while remaining effective as poems. In inventing blues poetry, Hughes solved two problems: first, how to write blues lyrics in such a way that they work on the printed page, and second, how to e某ploit the blues form poetically without losing all sense of authenticity.There are many styles of blues, but the distinction of importance to Hughes is between the genres referred to as “folk blues” and “classic blues.” Folk blues and classic blues are distinguished from one another by differences in performers (local talents versus touring professionals), patronage (local community versus mass audience), creation (improvised versus composed), and transmission (oralversus written). It has been a commonplace among critics that Hughes adopted the classic blues as the primary model for his blues poetry, and that he writes his best blues poetry when he tries least to imitate the folk blues. In this view, Hughes’ attempts to imitate the folk blues are too self-conscious, too determined to romanticize the African American e某perience, too intent on reproducing what he takes to be the quaint humor and naïve simplicity of the folk blues to be successful.But a more realistic view is that by conveying his perceptions asa folk artist ought to—through an accumulation of details over the span of his blues oeuvre, rather than by overloading each poem with quaintness and naivety–Hughes made his most important contributions to the genre. His blues poems are in fact closer stylistically to the folk blues on which he modeled them than to the cultivated classic blues. Arnold Rampersad has observed that virtually all of the poemsin the 1927 collection in which Hughes essentially originated blues poetry fall deliberatively within the “range of utterance” of common folk. This surely applies to “Young Gal’s Blues,” in which Hughes avoids the conventionally “poetic” language and images that the subjects of death and love sometimes elicit in his ordinary lyric poetry. To see what Hughes’ blues poetry might have been lik e if he had truly adopted the classic blues as his model, one need only look to “Golden Brown Blues,” a song lyric Hughes wrote for composerW.C. Handy. Its images, allusions, and diction are cons//on “rangeof utterance.”1. The primary purpose of the passage is toA. describe the influence of folk and classic blues on blues poetryB. analyze the effect of African American culture on blues poetryC. demonstrate that the language used in Hughes’ blues poetry is colloquialD. defend Hughes’ blues poetry against criticism that it is derivativeE. refute an accepted view of Hughes’ blues poetry style2. The author of the passage uses the highlighted quotation primarily toA. indicate how blues poetry should be performedB. highlight the difficulties faced by writers of blues poetryC. support the idea that blues poetry is a genre doomed to failD. illustrate the obstacles that blues poetry is unable to overcomeE. suggest that written forms of blues are less authentic than sung blues3. It can be inferred from the passage that, as compared with the language of “Golden Brown Blues,”the language of “Young Gal’s Blues” isA. more colloquialB. more melodiousC. marked by more allusionsD. characterized by more conventional imageryE. more typical of classic blues song lyrics4. According to the passage, Hughes’ blues poetry and classic blues are similar in which of thefollowing ways?A. Both are improvisedB. Both are written downC. Both are intended for the same audienceD. Neither uses colloquial languageE. Neither is professionally performed3. 逻辑单题(直通车)Benovians set their clocks back an hour for the winter. Theresult is that, during winter’s short days, it is light when most commuters drive to work, but dark when they drive back home. Darkness contributes to accidents. Changing the clocks, however, does not actually increase the amount of driving done in the dark, so it isunlikely to have any effect on Benovia’s automobile accident rate.11. Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument relies?A. The average number of hours that Benovians drive when it is dark is greater for days during thewinter than for days during other times of the year.B. In Benovia, hazards to safe driving that are made worse by darkness are as likely to occur in themorning as in the evening.C. The majority of cars on Benovia’s roads during a given d ay are those of people commuting to orfrom work.D. The majority of automobile accidents in Benovia take place when it is dark.E. Driving conditions are no worse in Benovia in the winter than during the rest of the year.。
9月25日上午长沙参加GRE考试回忆
长沙,上午08:15--10:21.或许是运⽓,或是是⾃⼰努⼒,或许是两者的结合。
今天发挥正常,没有担⼼的时间不够和临场发挥不好。
ISSUE 25和ISSUE 161虽然我都没有写过但提纲已经很熟悉了,ISSUE的244道题⽬我都分类看过,在脑海⾥拟好了该怎样写的思路和⽂章结构,所以有了最底线---不管怎样都可以写⼀些。
其实ISSUE我真正写过的不超过10篇,因为准备完08/23的TOFEL考试后休息了⼀个星期才开始准备作⽂,时间怎么也不够所以只能列提纲做⼀下实际操作⽽已。
Argument是最后5天开始准备,⾸先是看ETS的范⽂,知道是怎么回事,⼤概怎么写,然后看题库分析题⽬,应该训练⾃⼰很快能能找出逻辑错误的能⼒,其实每句话⼀读完就已经知道⼀些错误,⽐如明显的那些some people, **yeas ago, *% ...就可以知道过去不带表现在,部分不代表全部等等。
分析⼀些题⽬后了解⼤概框架⼀定要⾃⼰写⼀篇,写时才知道⾃⼰哪⾥还不⾏,⼀定要写完,然后再去分析范⽂,不管是ETS的还是其他的经典的都可以,就可以知道⾃⼰的差距,其实只有这时你才能真正知道别⼈的为什么好,好在哪⾥,⾃⼰因该怎样改进,这样进步很显著。
其实我觉得A还是⽐较容易对付的,眼看时间来不及,所以⼀是强化⾃⼰找逻辑错误的能⼒,那就是⼏个⼩时不间断⼀个题⽬⼀个题⽬的看,这样对那些明显的错误会越来越快的反映,然后是想如果要写的话主次顺序结构该怎样,培养⾃⼰快速反映能⼒。
另外⼀个办法是⾃⼰总结模版,我觉得只要是⾃⼰总结的,这是⼀个⾮常快捷和保险的⽅法,和ISSUE⼀样有了最底线,⽐如逻辑错误可⽤那些表达,证据不⾜可⽤哪些表达,忽视其他的⽅⾯可怎么表达等等,都可事先准备的,这是⼀定的,因为A不外呼就那么⼏种情况。
它和我们写议论⽂很相似:提出问题(找出问题)--分析问题(为什么错了进⾏道理服⼈)---解决问题(要怎样改正)。
当然最关键的是中间部分,有就是⽤论点证明他的不对。

),A. Unabashed 不害羞的B. Enthusiastic 热情的C. Insincere 不真诚的D. Obsequious 逢迎的E. Circumspect 慎重的Fortunately, the writer does not, in general, _选deviate from偏离_____ her practice of withholding the perpetrator’s identi ty until the last chapter, since one of the greatest pleasure of reading her mystery novels is speculating about the culprit’s identity. 幸运地是,这个作家基本还是按照她以前的做法(没有偏离以前的做法),在最后一章才揭露罪犯的身份,因为读这个作家的悬疑小说的最大乐趣之一,就是猜测罪犯的身份。
A. Expend on 在。

大概是说,严格的父母经常对孩子的表现做出不对称的反应:孩子犯错就chastise严厉苛责,孩子表现好的时候laudably,却没有表扬。
A. Chastising…laudablyB. Commending…disobedientlyC. Penalizing…impulsivelyD. Ign oring…approximatelyThe company may soon have some legal issues to address, given that some of its new policy appears to _选contravene违反____ recently passed legislation. 这题也不解释了。

E. Underlie 成为。
基础下面两题的选项正好反过来了,我已经纠正。
In noting that critical and popular opinions about Li’s art coincided Chuang _选conceded承认、让步___ the existence of an exception to her theory, which posited that critic’s views did not insect with those of the general public.大概意思就是,注意到对于LI的艺术,大众和评论家的意见一致,CHUANG不得不承认她的理论中存在的例外,(后面那句定语从句是修饰her theory的,)因为她的理论指出评论家的观点不会和大众的观点一致。
A. SuppressedB. QuestionedC. ForecastD. ConcededE. RefutedF.The result of the latest survey being _选unexampled史无前例的___ earlier result gave researchers little rele vant experience for the new data’s interpretation.这题也比较简单:因为最新的调查结果是史无前例的,之前的研究结果不能帮助研究者解释新数据。
G. SuperfluousH. InconsequentialI. TediousJ. UnexampledK. Familiar另外.还有另一个SECTION里的,具体的用词忘记了,我用自己的话再说一遍哦Although the Congress(之类的机构啊,我忘记了)gave a __________role to his office, he wanted/tried to ____________as much power and responsibilities as possible.选项两个我当时很挣扎的,不过最后选了Nominal.....annex(定义是to take, appropraite,esp. witout permission篡夺,夺取的意思)另一个选项第一个空干扰很大titular(有名无实的),但是第二个空delegate表示,授权,我特地查了,作为动词,只表示把权力发放给别人,不是自己去代表(查了webster和collins),所以排除了这个选项。
还有一题是Dismissing the producers' warning that 风格/内容什么的观众不一定能接受,the director proceeds to __ their concern by crafting films that were lost on audience.我这个选的是justify,To demonstrate or prove to be just, right, or valid:论证或证明。
是正确的。
也就是说,这个导演没理会专家(制片人?)的警告,继续导了一些电影,都不受观众的喜爱,(by crafting films that were lost on audience表示方式--通过这种方式)从而证明之前专家的担心是正确的。
再补充一题,关键词句我都记得,有些不大关键的就是我自己的回忆了啊,大家将就着看吧He said that the ____________of his formal(还是former) education __________his later, morein-depth fieldwork: his classes motivated him to investigate the biological questions that were raised but not fully answered in the textbooks.答案有两个我记得的(就是最干扰我的)一个是Incompleteness...........inspired另一个是 intricacy..............confirmed我最后选了incompleteness...inspired,因为后面的解释就是说,他之前的教育课本提出很多问题却没有给出解答,所以,这个启发了他后来更为深刻的研究。
